WHEN ROUTINE IS ALL THERE IS WEDNESDAYS OPEN PLATFORM MARCH 18
SCREENINGS, CONVERSATIONS, PERFORMANCE
MARTHA ATIENZA WITH JOHN TORRES AND MAILES KANAPI
A conversation is a communication by two, three, or more people; a social skill easily dismissed as ‘not difficult’ for most individuals; and in some respects held in the ideal container of wants, should bes and could have beens. The rhythm pre-determined by the number of particular variables usually depending on the amount of sleep, intoxication, history and pollution carried by the body in between intermittent waking. Habit on the other hand refers to an acquired behavior which often occurs automatically. Of course, while mostly pronounced, it is also the least noticeable among the high tenor of visual informations that pass for normality. These actions, or background noise, find their way into conversations to effect a general feeling of understanding.
No. What exists between these two are nothing but parallel but only an irksome gap. Nevertheless, these are two words we are obviously fond of. Because we cannot have enough of it, we are resuscitating our live talk show-artist conversations with Martha Atienza and John Torres, as Martha continues to make sense of what her new temporal condition is all about. Because habit, routine and anomalies are things the two share. Only John brings out the camera more often than she does. But we all know that by now. Meanwhile, to add yet another strand to this already tempting treat is theater actress par excellance Mailes Kanapi whose never before heard nor seen text/ual production will finally come out to play. Summer has officially begun, haven’t you noticed those ants gnawing at your kitchen counter?
